Command Input 
Maintenance Terminal Display 
3.1 The maintenance display screen is shown in Figure 3-i. There are five distinct and 
separate areas to the screen: 
Status Line: - occupies a single line above the bordered area, and displays the time 
and date, and the system alarm status. 
Header Line: -occupies the top line within the bordered area. It identifies the running 
software version, and its creation date. It also describes which MAINTENANCE menu 
is currently being displayed: one of Main Menu, System, Diagnostics, Traffic 
Measurement, Logs, or Reports. 
Applications Area: -occupies the next 12 lines in the bordered area. Output information 
resulting from command input is displayed in this area. 
Command Line: -occupies the line directly below the Applications Area. Commands 
are echoed onto this line as they are input by the user. Respons.es to command input 
(other than data; e.g., error messages) are also returned here. 
Softkey Area: -changes dynamically with the MAINTENANCE mode (System, 
Diagnostics, Traffic Measurement, Logs, ACD Reports, or Reports) and identifies the 
functions of the maintenance terminal’s 10 softkeys. The sonkey area occupies the 
bottom two lines of the bordered area: the first line identifies the functions of softkeys 
1 through 5; the second line identifies the functions of softkeys 6 through IO. 
Softkey Presentation 
3.2 All commands are entered using softkeys. The functions of softkeys change to suit 
the programming requirements of each particular application. The maintenance 
terminal has IO such keys: they are the number keys (I through 0) on the terminal 
keyboard. The “I m key corresponds to softkey I in the softkey area; similarly, all other 
numeric keys correspond to softkeys.

Entering Commands 
3.3 Enter commands by pressing the desired softkeys in sequence, and terminate each 
command sequence with softkey 0, the ENTER softkey or the conventional keyboard 
RETURN key. As softkeys are pressed, they are displayed on the command line. After 
the ENTER softkey is pressed, the command is processed by the maintenance 
system, and the appropriate response is returned. Press the QUIT softkey to end the 
current operation and return to the previous level of access. 
Incorrect Command Entry 
3.4 The user interface provides a comprehensive set of error messages to inform the user 
of incorrect command entry. While the softkey-oriented command input interface 
minimizes the chance of incorrect command entry, error messages provide concise 
descriptions of the input error. A summary of these error messages with descriptions 
is in Appendix A. 
Non-VT1 00 Compatible Terminal Use 
3.5 When using a terminal not compatible with a VT100 terminal, softkeys are presented 
as described in Figure 3-1, but without the graphic bordering. Similarly, commands 
are entered in exactly the same manner. Instead of a Title line, the current menu is 
identified by the command input prompt: 
l SYS> - System level menu 
l DlAG> - Diagnostics level menu 
l TRAFF> - Traffic Measurement menu

. LOG.5 - Logs level menu 
l REP> - Reports level menu. 
Device Number Parameters 
3.6 Some commands require the inclusion of card/circuit location numbers (referred to as 
physical location identification numbers: bay number, slot number, circuit number, 
sub-circuit number) or extension numbers as part of the input. The user is prompted 
for these numbers, one at a time, on the command line of the screen: 
enter Bay then press RETURN: 
enter Slot then press RETURN: 
enter Circuit then press RETURN: 
enter Sub-circuit then press RETURN: 
or 
enter Ext. Number then press RETURN: 
When these prompts appear, the softkeys are disabled. Enter the required numbers 
in the conventional manner by using the keyboard number keys and pressing the 
RETURN key after each entry. Note that if a 2-digit number is entered, the RETURN 
key is not required after each digit. When all of the required device numbers have been 
entered, the appropriate softkeys will again be presented. 
When entering circuit location numbers, the sub-circuit qualifier is often not required, 
and this prompt may be answered by simply pressing the RETURN key. The only 
devices that require sub-circuit numbers are Digital Line Card circuits and Universal 
Card modules such as DTMF/Receiver Modules and Music On Hold/Pager Modules. 
Wild Card Characters 
3.7 Default wild card characters may be used to perform some command-initiated 
functions on a range of devices, by not specifying circuit location numbers when 
prompted (pressing only the RETURN key). For example, entering Bay I, but not 
specifying the slot, circuit, or sub-circuit would translate to “all circuits on all cards in 
Bay I”. Default wild card characters do not apply to all commands; refer to the 
individual command descriptions. 
Canceling a Command 
3.8 The user may cancel any command at any point before pressing the ENTER softkey 
by pressing the CANCEL softkey. Any softkeys that were entered and echoed back 
onto the command line are now canceled, leaving the command line empty and ready 
for new command input. 
Command Line Correction 
3.9 The user may correct a current command input line before pressing the ENTER 
softkey, without having to cancel and enter the command over again. Press the 
DELETE key to delete the most recently entered softkey or device number.

							‘4 System Level Functions 
Introduction 
4.1 The system level of operation contains commands that are not necessarily mainte- 
nance applications, but that affect maintenance in some way (for example, setting of 
time, date, and passwords). To access system level commands, press the SYSTEM 
softkey. All of the following operations are done while in the system level. Table 4-i 
provides a quick reference for all operations available in system level functions, ex- 
cept CANCEL and ENTER. To exit the current operation without committing (saving) 
any changes, press the CANCEL softkey at any time. To commit changes, press the 
ENTER softkey when it is available. 
Setting and Showing Time 
4.2 The system time-of-day may be set and verified from the maintenance terminal al- 
though the hour format used is specified during CDE. Note that the user may set the 
time in either 12-hour or 24-hour format by using the PM softkey as required. To set 
the system time from the maintenance terminal, press the following softkeys: 
SET 
TIME 
At this point the softkeys are disabled, and the user is prompted to enter the desired 
time: 
enter Time HH:MM 
After entering a valid time, press the ENTER softkey to implement the new time-of-day, 
or press the CANCEL softkey to cancel the new time. 
Verify the time-of-day by pressing the following softkeys:

Setting Password 
4.7 It is recommended, for system security, that passwords be changed regularly once 
the SX-ZOO ML PABX has been put into service. Password changes may be made by 
the affected username, or any other username with a higher priority (see Login Pro- 
cedures). A password may be any string of alphanumeric characters of up to 20 
characters in length (any more characters are ignored). 
CAUTION: Entering new passwords with alphabetic characters will inhibit 
login from the attendant console, because only numeric charac- 
ters may be entered from the console, 
To change the password, press the following softkeys: 
SET 
PASSWORD 
(enter the required Username) 
ENTER 
The system then prompts the user for the old password (see Note): 
Enter old password; then press RETURN/ENTER: 
Enter the old password. The system prompts the user for the new password as follows: 
Enter new password; then press RETURN/ENTER: 
The system then prompts the user to verify the new password: 
Enter new password to verify; then press RETURN/ENTER: 
After the user verifies the new password, the system implements the password change; 
the old password is no longer valid. An incorrect entry of the old or new passwords will 
cause the password changing process to be aborted. Neither old nor new passwords 
are echoed back to the maintenance terminal display. 
Note: If the Username selected is the one used when logging in, the system will prompt for the old 
password. When the username selected is a lower level than the login user, the system will not 
require verification of access priority and will prompt for the new password only. 
Setting Maintenance Port Baud Rate 
l To change maintenance terminal port baud rate from its value at login time, choose 
one of six available baud rates: 300; 600; 1,200; 2,400; 4,800; or 9,600 baud. To 
change the terminal baud rate, press the following softkeys: 
SET 
SPEED 
MAINT-PORT 
(select the softkey for the desired baud rate) 
ENTER 
Note: This operation changes the baud rate of the SX-200 ML PABX maintenance terminal port only. 
The maintenance terminal baud rate must be changed separately. Refer to the manufacturer’s 
instructions for the particular terminal being used.

							RS-232 Maintenance Terminal 
At this point, the softkeys are disabled, and the system prompts the user to change 
the terminal speed: 
Change terminal speed and press RETURN when ready 
Setting System Printer Port Baud Rate 
4.8 To change the system printer port baud rate from its default value of 1,200 baud, 
choose one of six available baud rates: 300; 600; 1,200; 2,400; 4,800; or 9,600 baud. 
To change the printer port baud rate, press the following softkeys: 
SET 
SPEED 
PRINTER-PORT 
(select the softkey for desired baud rate) 
ENTER 
Before pressing the ENTER softkey, you can cancel the entry by pressing the CANCEL 
softkey. Note that this operation changes the baud rate of the SX-200ML PABXsystem 
port only; the baud rate of the printer itself must be changed separately. Refer to the 
manufacturer’s instructions for the particular printer being used. 
Assigning Printer Ports 
4.9 Printouts are produced at the device specified in CDE Form 34, DIRECTED IO. See 
the Customer Data En0yPractice for details. Setting speed for printer ports other than 
the system printer port is done in CDE Form ii, Data Circuit Descriptors. 
Backing Up a Database 
4.10 When the SX-200 ML PABX is running normally, the database information is main- 
tained in two locations on the Main Control Card II (MCC II): in the Random Access 
Memory (RAM); in the non-volatile RAM. The backup database information is main- 
tained in non-volatile RAM for only 68 hours after the power is removed from the 
SX-200 ML PABX system. If the PABX is shut down for more that 68 hours (for exam- 
ple, over a long weekend) the database information is lost. 
To back up the database information, your communication package must 
support the 
Kermit protocol. The Backup function allows you to save the database information as 
a binary file on either a directory on your PC’s hard disk, or on a diskette in the PC’s 
disk drive. It is recommended that you backup the database: 
l after the system is first installed and the database is set up 
l after changes have been made to the database. 
To backup the customer database, press the following softkeys: 
DATABASE 
BACKUP 
ENTER 
The system prompts the user for the file name (see Note).
